The club issued a short statement confirming the decision, though it stopped short of providing full details behind the sudden move.Jakirovi\u0107, who took over at Hull City A.F.C. in June 2025, was initially brought in to guide the team toward promotion. Despite a promising start, recent performances have been inconsistent, with the team struggling to maintain momentum in a highly competitive league.Reports suggest that internal disagreements and dressing room tensions may have contributed to the decision, alongside growing pressure from supporters over recent results. While the club has not officially confirmed these claims, sources indicate that the situation had been developing for several weeks.In the meantime, Hull City are expected to appoint an interim manager as they begin the search for a permanent replacement. The club thanked Jakirovi\u0107 for his efforts and wished him well, while fans now await further updates on who will take charge next.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px;
